"But Mexicans commonly refer to the volunteers as "migrant hunters"

Innaccurate, but fear sure is a motivator sometimes isn't it?

The more any foreign nation is "irked" at any US politician the more support I want to give that politician.

Hey, what have they got to be irked at?

For heaven's sake, Mexicans shoot people on their southern border, so I think America has been very forgiving of their transgressions so far.
Maybe America has almost rewarded transgressions IMO.

well, two of them clean my house every couple of weeks, a few of them clean my office every night. Two helped me carry some very heavy items when I moved. Two of them work at a burrito place I go once a week. They are nice people whose business I will continue to patronize, they provide services which I am happy to pay for. By the way when we were looking for cleaners, not one single ANGLO came by, 5 Latinos did, they wanted work. And in case you wonder, I did not ask for papers any more than I would have asked for ID papers when I met my french wife.

What a guy!!!

Agree. There is something about a third-world country telling us how to protect our own country that really ticks me off.

A member of the border patrol was on Hannity a little while ago, talking about how they actually apprehend a tiny portion of the illegals, and that they release a lot of them so they can do it all over again.

Mexico needs to take care of its citizens instead of expecting the US to do their jobs. Seems like every tin horn country in the world has its hand out and takes whatever they can, from us, all the while insulting our Government, our officials, our society, and our citizens.

Totally pisses me off.

That is why I don't go to Mexico anymore. The southern part is really pretty and so too the mountains. But it irks me as well that our government will do nothing but yet condemn we that do.

Its nice to know you probably support tax evasion.

I have several employees who are immigrants (and yes they are legal), I needed their ID for basic paperwork.

I have no problems and actually a great deal of respect for law abiding mexican people, but the illegals are criminals.

For the record, I didn't hire immigrants to cut costs or because I didn't want to pay more an American. It happened that the "friend of a friend" thing led to me hiring several folks who all know each other.

I thought hunters stalked their prey? How do you hunt something while sitting in your lawn chair?

Yep - it isn't enough that we have wild-eyed libs doing their very best to destroy us from within, and then we have to contend with the illegal immigrants - that wall the Israelis are building is looking better and better.

I wonder how many sections it would take to secure both our borders? That would be a cool construction project to watch -

Well, I use the terms "Undocumented Border Agent" or "Volunteer Border Security Officers" or my personal favorite "Non Governmental Border Protection Agent" or variations of those terms.

By the way, are all these people helping you legal? - I do not know. By the way, do you ask the spanish looking person at the deli, grocery store, fast food joint if they are legal?

GOOD GOING!! As long as we can keep wage rates low, we can keep blacks unemployed and engaged in criminal activity. Of course, tax payers will have to pay for the blacks and, eventually, the Mexicans, too. But, you saved $3.00 an hour, 12 hours a week. Of course, most of what you did pay was sent back to Mexico and was not available to help the local economy grow, but, what the heck, you are $36 ahead!

I knew a fat lazy SOB who used to shoot birds from his porch while sitting in his rocking chair.

In Between drunken stupors he would send his dog to fetch his kills.

Its nice to know you probably support tax evasion for the record it may be nice for you to know I do not support tax evasion. I pay my taxes, what makes you accuse me of such? Do you support tax evasion if the guy dumping your garbage at night hires illegals? Do you think every time I buy a burrito or have someone dump my garbage that "looks" Mexican, I should ask for their papers?
